Cocoa Almond Truffles are made from cocoa powder instead of ganache and mixed together with slivered almonds, espresso powder, vanilla and almond extracts. They're not smooth like ganache truffles, but have a little crunch from the finely chopped almonds and are cocoa-y. (I'm not sure cocoa-y is a word, but when you eat something cocoa-y, you know it.)

Roll them in powdered sugar, natural or Dutch-process cocoa, and voila!

I had the best of intentions of giving the majority of these truffles away, but was vetoed by the boys in my house. Mr. E even added a few to his morning protein smoothies. Yes, we're the epitome of health around here.

Very clever idea! I took a look at the recipe and they sound lovely! I love chocolate and almonds, so these are kind of calling my name! I also love how quick they are... as in I may go make them right now!

Would you mind tossing about 20 or more of those truffles way up here in the Northwest!I'm ready!Mouth wide open!These look so good B!Love that powdered sugar & cocoa!xoAnd truffles feel so fancy! Don't they!
